Bridge the Gap Walk/Run
The fourth annual Bridge the Gap Walk/Run fundraising event has two new features this year. We have incorporated a 5K fun run to the walk as well as changed the venue. The walk/run will be held at the Deer Grove East Trail, Cook County Forest Preserve Shelter #1. Top runners in each age category will receive prizes. For those that fundraise - for each $50 raised, the participant will be entered into a free drawing for prizes. All pre-registered participants are guaranteed to receive a t-shirt.
Deadline for pre-registration is September 24, 2012. Other give-a-ways include a goody bag full of vendor promotional items, discount coupons, and Bridge water bottles, whiles supplies last.
Entry fees: Adults: $25, Family rate: $75, Children ages 6-18: $15, children 5 and under are FREE. These are early bird rates. After September 24, adults are $35 and children are $20.
